You can select to print a scan, configure it as an email attachment, or just save it to a folder in the Finder.
ScanSnap iX500 The ScanSnap Manager’s Quick Menu offers an array of potential actions for a scan. I was also unable to get a usable result from the Expense Report options, despite several attempts. For example, I’m still not exactly sure what From Web Import does and could find no mention of it in the manual. Too often, I had trouble figuring out how certain features work.
NEAT RECEIPT SCANNER FOR MAC
Neat for Mac would benefit from interface tweaks. In fact, when I scanned a document, without first launching Neat for Mac, Image Capture opened by default. Alternatively, if you bought a Neat scanner, but prefer to bypass its software, the hardware works with OS X’s Image Capture. It can be configured to work with a variety of other scanners, including ScanSnaps.
NEAT RECEIPT SCANNER SOFTWARE
If you like the sound of Neat for Mac software, but not the NeatDesk hardware, you can purchase Neat ($80) as a stand-alone software product. You can also copy/paste text from a scanned image to a word processing app. While Neat can extract text from a document, such as for filling in receipt or business card text boxes, don’t expect anything close to 100 percent accuracy (to be fair, I don’t know any software that does this well). Neat plans to add more features to NeatMobile later this year, including editing on an iOS device of data extracted from documents “scanned” with the camera.
For example, iCloud users can almost as conveniently transfer photos from their iPhone to their Mac via Photo Stream, and import them to Neat if desired. Even if everything worked perfectly, the service doesn’t seem worth paying a monthly fee-unless you use it very frequently. Other times, loading stalled with a persistent spinning sundial. Sometimes a selected scan loaded quickly. Going the other way, the mobile app’s ability to view scans from a Mac was inconsistent. However, I could not get the camera to focus in the Neat app, which sometimes resulted in photos too blurry for OCR processing. In my testing, transferring a photo from an iPhone to a Mac worked well. The service requires that you open an account and pay a minimum of $6 per month. NeatMobile accomplishes all of this by shunting your data through its new NeatCloud service. Going in the other direction, scans stored on your Mac sync to NeatMobile on all your iOS devices. If the photo is of a text document, Neat’s OCR processing software kicks in and analyzes it. NeatDesk With the NeatMobile iOS app, you can take a photo and wirelessly send it to your Mac. Tap NeatMobile’s Scan button to take a photo and send it as a scanned image to your Mac.
